TRIP TO TIMISGAM AND BIAMA in March 2008


Report by Kunzang Dolma

On March 13th we started our journey toward this village. It was very nice trip. First we went to Timisgam. We arrived at Namra guest house at 6 pm . We took a rest and had nice tea. After few minutes we had our dinner.

On March 14th we started to do our home visit toward Tia at 8 am. When we finish our home visit then we went direct our journey to Biama village arrived at 5:30 pm. We stayed in Dak Bungalow for 3days. It is a hot and beautiful village, very traditional and different from our culture, way of living, thinking and also the language is totally different.

On March 15th we went to Hanu Gongma. There were four patients and two from Hanu Thang.
Spalzes from Hanu Thang: Her legs are worse, she does not go to school because of pain in legs, but she is very interested in school. I was thinking that I could contact Madam Spalzes (same name!) from Nirlac. Maybe the girl can go to Chuchot hostel; it might be good for her. I could contact Health Inc. also, because I think they may be able to arrange another surgery.On March 16th we went to Dak Hanu, where we visited two patients. After lunch we went to Garkon village; there was one child.

On March 17th we came back to Leh, but on the way there in Khaltse village there was one child patient. He is staying in Moravian mission school in Khaltse. We met a principal and one teacher from America. She is a special teacher helping our patient in school. We got a new patient from Nimo village then we visited there. Then we arrived in Leh. at 5:30pm.


It was a wonderful trip and we enjoyed taking care of the patients.
